An emerging feature of COVID-19 is a clinically relevant osteo-metabolic phenotype characterized by widespread acute hypocalcaemia and chronic hypovitaminosis D with high prevalence of vertebral fractures. This phenotype might have negative effects on disease severity and its components could represent possible targets for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection and poor COVID-19 outcomes.
COVID-19 的一个新出现特征是一种具有临床意义的骨代谢表型,其特征为广泛的急性低钙血症和慢性维生素 D 缺乏症,且椎体骨折的患病率很高。这种表型可能对疾病严重程度有负面影响,其组成部分可能是预防 SARS-CoV-2 感染和 COVID-19 不良结局的潜在靶点。
